PRIVATE ROSSI

Private Rossi answers Steven from New Bern, North Carolina who asks; "What would you say are the worst and best parts of basic training?"

I'm Private Rossi from Chicago, Illinois. I'm here at Fort Benning, Georgia from basic training. The question I have from Steven from New Bern, North Carolina; "What would you say are the worst and best parts of basic training?"

I'd probably have to say the best part I'll start with is mail, the mail call we get, sleep, then chow, are probably in that order. Just getting mail from all my family is the biggest motivation. Sleep you're going to need a lot of it, and chow for energy, but chow you actually get to sit in a chair. Everything else you're running around.

The worst part of basic training, PT is really not that big of a deal. It's all the guys getting along with all the guy in my opinion just trying to get along with everybody you get so many people from so many different states all around the country, some over the world, getting along with everybody is a little hard but you get used to it.
